Eggs!

It was lovely to recently see 'two in a teacup' eggs on an Instagram feed so nicely displayed. These were ordered from The Black Hen in Deloraine and sent to Adalaide.

For our own Easter table we brought out the old nest that has become quite bowerbird like now. Each year we dress it with new Autumn leaves, rose hips, our painted enamel eggs and of course the odd chocolate one!

We are looking forward to next years Easter break already! It is such a wonderful family time - gentle sun, autumn colours, a welcome break from work and time to cook and eat chocolate together!

Easter

Easter is such a special time of year. A time to spend with family and enjoy the gentle rays of the Autumn sun. We like to cook our favorite chocolate cake and of course it is not Easter without an Easter egg hunt in the garden! This year we have made some tiny boxes with a small text covered egg inside sitting on a bed of moss and twigs from our garden. A keepsake when all the chocolate has been eaten! These little boxes are on sale in the lovely store 'Gather' in Hobart.

Hearts, Hearts, Hearts

Oh how we love collecting heart shaped rocks. We gathered a small selection recently and added a text covered heart we made and a tiny smooth stone onto which we gilded a small heart.

Nesting time again

With Easter on the horizon we have begun making our nests and eggs again. We are also very excited to have them in the beautiful store - The Black Hen - in  Deloraine.

Joyeux Noël

Christmas Blessings. May 2015 bring peace, inspiration, lots of creating and joy.  

Small Treasures

We love using nature in our work and so we decided it was time to re-visit our 'small treasures'. Stones that fit into the palm of your hand, carefully stamped with birds, butterflies and leaves.

They sit perfectly in our handmade nests and rest quietly on shelves and in 

decorative settings. A natural keepsake.

New Gift Tags

Christmas gift tags hand stamped on 100% rag made art paper and topped off with a little bundle of sticks as 'Good King Wenceslas' would do!

Hoping to find somewhere lovely to sell these little goodies.
